(Before It's News)

LONDON (AP) — Credit ratings agency Moody’s Investors Service downgraded Britain’s government bond rating one notch from the top AAA to AA1 Friday, citing weaknesses in the economy’s medium-term outlook.

Moody’s said “subdued” growth prospects and a “high and rising debt burden” were weighing on the British economy.

The agency said rising debt meant “a deterioration in the shock-absorption capacity of the government’s balance sheet, which is unlikely to reverse before 2016.”
